Carlos Alcaraz vs Novak Djokovic prediction
It’s really difficult to choose between Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz. The youngster moves fast, he is high on energy, and despite emerging as an all-court player, clay is his comfort zone and he turns into someone unbeatable.
For the Serb, it’s all about technique. His mental strength will be tested here. He knows Alcaraz is the favorite to win this match but at the time, if it was another opponent, choosing Alcaraz as the winner would have been even easier. But Djokovic is known for forcing a comeback and winning matches. Though the French Open has been going smoothly for him, in the previous clay-court matches this year, he struggled a lot.
Prediction– Alcaraz in four sets.
